Embodiment
With the waterproof connecting structure of describing according to first embodiment of the invention that is used for pipeline.
Fig. 1 is the longitudinal cross-section perspective view with the intake manifold that is used for vehicle internal combustion engine 2 all-in-one-piece knock out drums 4.
Form intake manifold 2 through utilizing known technology such as Vibration Welding will comprise that a plurality of parts of knock out drum 4 combine.Intake manifold 2 comprises the guide portion 6 that is used to guide air inlet, and wherein air inlet supplies to this guide portion 6 from the closure that links to each other with guide portion 6.The air inlet (in Fig. 1, representing with big arrow) that gets into the space 4a in the knock out drum 4 is inhaled into the supplying mouth 8 of each cylinder (being four cylinders) here, and gives each cylinder through each path 10.
In the space 4a in knock out drum 4, partition wall 12 is formed on the introducing passage that is used for air inlet is incorporated into from guide portion 6 supplying mouth 8.Partition wall 12 is towards the downstream of inlet stream, and comprises the outer surface parallel with gravitational direction.As shown in Figure 2, between the outer surface 4b of partition wall 12 and knock out drum 4, form connection space 14.
Fig. 3 illustrates the longitdinal cross-section diagram of waterproof connecting structure and relevant portion.Connection space 14 is cylindrical spaces, and it has along the axis of the left and right directions among general horizontal direction or Fig. 3.In the axial end portion of partition wall 12A sealing connection space 14 one and comprise hole 14a.Connection space 14 is communicated with space 4a in the knock out drum 4 via hole 14a.Comprise the pilot hole 14b of the centre that is positioned at this wall with the wall on another outer circumferential face 4b side corresponding, knock out drum 4 in the axial end portion of connection space 14.The catheter pressure 16a of pneumatic filter 16 is mounted among the pilot hole 14b with the mode that closely contacts each other.Connecting duct 16b is formed on the opposition side of catheter pressure 16a in this pneumatic filter.Connecting duct 16b links to each other with inspiratory pressure sensor 20 via rubber hose 18.Therefore, the suction pressure among the space 4a of knock out drum 4 is delivered to inspiratory pressure sensor 20 through hole 14a, connection space 14, pneumatic filter 16 and rubber hose 18.
Metallic filter 16c and nonwoven fabric filter 16d are arranged sequentially in the pneumatic filter 16 according to what begin from catheter pressure 16a, and fix with leaf spring 16e and 16f respectively.
Referring now to Fig. 4, illustrate the position relation between the end openings 16g of connection space 14, hole 14a and catheter pressure 16a.Particularly; When the direction vertical with the outer surface of partition wall 12 observed; The downside L1 of curved line form that forms the part of hole 14a is the extension of a part on its axial direction of the inner peripheral surface of connection space 14, and identical with the line of the said part of the inner peripheral surface of connection space 14.Below the upside L2 of the form of straight lines of extending on the substantially horizontal of hole 14a is formed on the central axis C of connection space 14.
Catheter pressure 16a is projected in the connection space 14 in the center of connection space 14, makes the center of end openings 16g of catheter pressure 16a overlap with the central axis C of connection space 14.The height H 1 of the lower end of the end openings 16g of catheter pressure 16a is lower than the height H 2 of the upside L2 of hole 14a.Correspondingly, when when observing perpendicular to the direction of partition wall 12, the part of the border circular areas that is limited the profile line of end openings 16g and the border circular areas of hole 14a are overlapping.
Now, will compare research.
As an example 1, intake manifold 2 as shown in Figure 4 is attached to petrol engine, and vehicle went 2 hours.Afterwards, pull down pneumatic filter 16 to measure the weight that has got into water wherein.The diameter R1 of the end openings 16g of catheter pressure 16a is 5mm, and the diameter R2 of connection space 14 is 12mm, and is 5mm to the height H 2 of upside L2 bottom from downside L1.The axial length of connection space 14 is about 20mm, and the outer surface of partition wall 12 is 25mm to the distance along the axial direction of catheter pressure 16a between the end openings 16g.
As an example 2, as shown in Figure 5, except the width S that makes hole 114a equals the diameter R15mm of end openings 16g), used and example 1 identical construction.As stated, petrol engine after the attached vehicle driving 3 hours, pull down pneumatic filter 16 to measure the weight that has got into water wherein.
As comparative example, in knock out drum 4, do not form connection space 14, and catheter pressure 16a is projected into directly among the space 4a of knock out drum 4, and pneumatic filter 16 is attached to this knock out drum 4.After vehicle driving 2 hours, pull down pneumatic filter 16 to measure the weight that has got into water wherein.
The result is following:
Example 1:14mg
Example 2:60mg
Comparative example: 191mg
This result shows: can prevent water intrusion pneumatic filter 16 like Fig. 1 to the waterproof connecting structure that is used for pipeline that comprises connection space 14, partition wall 12 and hole 14a or 114a according to first embodiment shown in Figure 5.
The area of hole 14a in the example 1 is greater than the area of the hole 114a in the example 2.Therefore, estimate with example 2 in compare, in example 1, will have more water droplets to get into connection space 14 from the space 4a of knock out drum 4.Yet in fact, in example 1, the water yield that gets into pneumatic filter 16 is than lacking in the example 2.This reason is inferred as follows.
That is to say, the hole 14a of example shown in Figure 41 is compared with the hole 114a of example 2 shown in Figure 5 that in embodiment 1, getting into the amount of the water droplet in said hole from the space 4a of knock out drum 4 should be than more the embodiment 2.Yet, because the shape of open region or the cross section of the hole 114a in the example 2 is a square rather than elongated roughly, therefore with example 1 in contrast, block whole hole 11a thereby more possibly form moisture film attached to the water droplet around the 114a of hole.
Therefore, water droplet temporarily is stored in the connection space 14, moves, contacts and be transported in the pneumatic filter 16 with the end openings 16g of catheter pressure 16a through the pressure vibration among the 4a of space.
On the other hand, the open region of the hole 14a of example 1 or the shape of cross section are elongated, that is, hole 14 has arc downside L1 as shown in Figure 4 and straight upside L2.Therefore, the bight Y of hole 14a is narrow, makes the water droplet that is adhered to rest on Y place, bight probably.Yet, because hole 14a along continuous straight runs is long, so unlikelyly on whole hole 14a, produce moisture film.Particularly, hole 14a is wide in centre, and therefore unlikely moisture film appears in the centre of 14a in the hole.
Correspondingly, with the contrast in the example 2, the draining the space 4a from connection space 14 to knock out drum is not weakened.Therefore, water still less accumulates in the connection space 14, and with example 2 in the more unlikely generation water of contrast owing to pressure vibration is invaded in the pneumatic filter 16.Believe that this is a reason that why on effect, there are differences between example 1 and the example 2.
First embodiment has the following advantages:
(1) water droplet that floats in the air inlet in gas-entered passageway (or knock out drum 4) and arrive partition wall 12 sometimes along the water droplet of the wall surface transmission of knock out drum 4.Even in this situation,, in hole 14a or 114a, can reduce the possibility that these water droplets arrive hole 14a or 114a owing to make the area of the area of hole 14a or 114a less than partition wall 12.
In addition, the open region of hole 14a as shown in Figure 4 or the shape of cross section are elongated (shorter length and longer length ratio are about 0.4, and this is less than 1/2).Particularly, hole 14a is formed by two limits: a limit is with the following L1 less than 180 ° central angle, the bending of on the edge of partition wall 12, extending or arc, and another limit is horizontally extending straight top L2.The central authorities of hole 14a 14a from the hole towards the opposite end or bight Y narrow down gradually.
Because the hole 14a of Fig. 4 has such structure, so water owing to surface tension properties trends towards concentrating on Y place, bight, and unlikelyly moisture film occurs in centre.Therefore, unlikelyly on whole hole 14a, moisture film occurs, thereby allow to remain under the kilter to the gas delivery of gas detector (inspiratory pressure sensor 20) via hole 14a.In addition, even the water droplet that in air inlet, floats gets in the connection space 14, they also are discharged to knock out drum 4 via hole 14a easily, and the whole surface of hole 14a is not covered by moisture film.Therefore, reduced intrusion and water droplet the stop duration in connection space 14 of water droplet in the connection space 14.
For the hole 114a of Fig. 5, to compare with the hole 14a of Fig. 4, water droplet is unlikely to get into connection space 14 via hole 114a.Even hole 114a is blocked by water droplet, among their also unlikely intrusion catheter pressure 16a.This be because hole 114a from the center-biased of the end openings 16g of pipeline (catheter pressure 16a), even and be formed on moisture film on the 11a of hole owing to the pressure vibration in the knock out drum 4 vibrates, hole 114a is also unlikely to be contacted with end openings 16g.
Hole 14a among Fig. 4 and Fig. 5 and the opening area of 114a be less than the area of partition wall 12, and compare with the cross-section area of hole 14a and 114a, and the cross-section area of connection space 14 is enlarged.Therefore, get into the more unlikely blocked hole 14a of water and the 114a of connection space 14.The diameter of connection space 14 is also greater than the diameter of catheter pressure 16a.Therefore, got into the more unlikely obstruction end openings of the water 16g of connection space 14.
Therefore, the hole 14a of Fig. 4 and Fig. 5 and 114a are used for reducing the water droplet that floats in air inlet and the intrusion of the water droplet that moves along the wall surface of knock out drum 4.In addition, through being set for catheter pressure 16a, connection space 14, partition wall 12 and hole 14a or 114a realize this waterproof connecting structure.Therefore, the positioning free degree that is used for this structure is attached to knock out drum 4 is high.
(2) like Fig. 4 and shown in Figure 5, when when observing perpendicular to the direction of partition wall 12, the remainder except hole 14a or 114a of partition wall 12 and the end openings 16g's of catheter pressure 16a is a part of overlapping.Therefore, the end openings 16g of the more unlikely entering catheter pressure of water droplet 16a has improved water-proof performance thus.

First embodiment's the waterproof connecting structure that is used for pipeline is applied to the pipeline joint of inspiratory pressure sensor 20, and with the air pressure of the gas-entered passageway that is used for measuring internal-combustion engine, this has realized the abundant waterproof to the water droplet that floats in the air inlet.In addition, can only connection space 14, partition wall 12 and hole 14a be set or 114a forms waterproof connecting structure through joint place at catheter pressure 16a.Therefore, the position freedom that this structure is attached to knock out drum 4 is high.Therefore, inspiratory pressure sensor 20 is applicable to various types of internal-combustion engines easily, thereby with the high Precision Detection pressure of inspiration(Pi).
(6) the also unlikely entering of water than inspiratory pressure sensor 20 more near the pneumatic filter 16 of knock out drum 4.That is to say, prevented owing to be trapped in the water in the pneumatic filter 16 or because this water icing causes pneumatic filter 16 breakages.
The foregoing description can be revised as follows.
In first embodiment, hole 14a is positioned on the side at edge of partition wall 12, and wherein this edge is the foot along gravitational direction of partition wall 12.Alternately, shown in Fig. 6 A, the hole can be positioned at for partition wall 12 along on the side at the edge of the intermediate portion of gravitational direction, like shown hole 214a.In this situation, the lower end of the 214a from the hole of the water in the connection space 14 is discharged to knock out drum.Therefore, can obtain hole 14a similar effects with Fig. 4.
Shown in Fig. 6 B, upside can raise up to having the hole 314a of protruding upside L3, rather than the straight upside L2 among Fig. 4.In this structure, hole 314a is wide in centre, and this is being effective aspect raising drainage performance.
Shown in Fig. 6 C, upside can also be downwardly convex as the hole 414a with recessed downside L4.In this structure, hole 314a is narrow in centre, and this is reducing or is preventing that aspect the water droplet intrusion be effective.In addition, partition wall 12 is overlapping with whole end openings 16g, and this is reducing or is preventing that aspect the water droplet intrusion end openings 16g be effective.
Shown in Fig. 6 D, the opposite end of upside L5 can be positioned on the horizontal dotted line of passing central axis C, and only the middle body of upside L5 can be outstanding towards downside L6.Then, when when observing perpendicular to the direction of partition wall 12, outstanding line M can be overlapping with the whole end openings 16g of catheter pressure.This structure reduces effectively or has prevented that water droplet from directly invading among the end openings 16g.
As shown in Figure 7, when when observing,, connection space 614 has large diameter cylindrical body form through being made for perpendicular to the direction of partition wall 12, and the position of the end openings 616g of the position of hole 614a and catheter pressure 616a can be setovered greatlyyer.In this situation, hole 614a is positioned at the foot along gravitational direction of partition wall 612, and catheter pressure 616a locatees the topmost part along gravitational direction as far as possible.Even a large amount of water droplets are from knock out drum 604 inner temporary transient entering connection space 614 and gatherings connection space 614, this structure prevents that also water droplet from arriving end openings 616g.
In the above-described embodiments, forming porose partition wall in it is the outer surface parallel with gravitational direction, the downstream of the inlet stream of this partition wall in the knock out drum.Yet, can partition wall be positioned in the another part in the knock out drum.For example, partition wall can face down and extend perhaps and can obliquely extend below along substantially horizontal.
